Taiwan's
TransAsia Airlines said on Sunday it would cancel 52 flights early next week,
in addition to the 90 already cancelled after one of its aircraft crashed into
a river in Taipei last week, killing at least 40 of the 58 people on board.

After Crash, Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council said the preliminary findings of the
black box showed the almost-new turboprop ATR 72-600 failed to produce enough
thrust after take-off, revealing one engine was turned off and restarted.

According to TransAsia Airlines: "Cancelled 90 flights in the last three days. We'll cancel another 52 on coming Monday
and Tuesday combined," said Ms Amy Chen, a vice-president of the
Taipei-based airline.
